php 反斜杠详解_在PHP（5.3+）中，\（反斜杠）有什么作用？

Namespaces

In PHP 5.3+ the backslash \ symbol is used in namespaces. It is the start symbol to indicate a namespace and also serves as a separator between sub-namespace names.

See official documentation about

Opcache

Additionally in PHP 7.0+ some functions are replaced with opcodes by OPCache, which makes these specific functions run a lot faster. However this only works when the functions are placed in the root namespace. See this \ indirectly also affects code optimisation.

The following native functions benefit from this effect:

"array_slice"

"assert"

"boolval"

"call_user_func"

"call_user_func_array"

"chr"

"count"

"defined"

"doubleval"

"floatval"

"func_get_args"

"func_num_args"

"get_called_class"

"get_class"

"gettype"

"in_array"

"intval"

"is_array"

"is_bool"

"is_double"

"is_float"

"is_int"

"is_integer"

"is_long"

"is_null"

"is_object"

"is_real"

"is_resource"

"is_string"

"ord"

"strlen"

"strval"
